NEW RELEASES • COMMENT • INDUSTRY HAPPENINGS
A free update to existing users and an attractive world to enter for non users
It’s all (well mostly) about the modulation in Kilohearts v2, so get in and enjoy a ‘heap’ of Snapin power
If you are not familiar with the Kilohearts world of effects and synths, it’s a place of joy that can be experienced in a ‘standard’ DAW way or in Kilohearts’ own modular way. And they’ve just upgraded the whole shebang to version 2 for free for existing users. First up, before we look at the update in more detail, let’s take a look at the concept as it requires some explanation.
Kilohearts produce many fantastic individual effects (VST/AAX/AU) that can be run within your DAW just like any other plugin. Load them on a channel, tweak and enjoy. They also produce the excellent Phase Plant, a semi-modular softsynth you can basically make into any kind of synth.
However, the company also take the concept of using all of their plugins up a couple of levels by allowing you to use them as ‘Snapins’ within the Kilohearts ecosystem. Basically, you can combine Snapins within three Snapin Hosts to make all manner of modular effects and instruments, that can then be used in almost any situation. These hosts are Snap Heap (for serial or parallel combinations), Multipass (for multiband processing), and the Phase Plant synth.
